Gongbi is a traditional Chinese meticulous painting technique characterized by precise brushwork, controlled lines, and carefully layered color. In this work, the rich-color approach brings added depth, clarity, and decorative beauty to the autumn leaves, ducks, and water.

Mounting & Shipping

The painting is currently not fully mounted or framed. The silk artwork is backed with Xuan paper for support and will be carefully rolled for shipping.
If you would like professional mounting before shipment, please contact us. Jing Li can recommend a mounting design based on the composition, colors, character of the artwork, and your interior preferences.

Hand-Painted Character

Each artwork is individually painted by hand in the tradition of Chinese bird-and-flower painting, using fine brushwork, carefully layered color, and techniques suited to each composition. Subtle variations in linework, color depth, tonal transitions, and small details are part of its unique handmade character.
Because every piece is painted by hand, slight differences from the reference images are natural and expected. These variations make each recreated artwork uniquely its own.

Under a canopy of crimson maple leaves, two wild ducks drift quietly across the water as fallen leaves scatter over the surface below.

Li Jing captures the gentle atmosphere of autumn with remarkable calm and refinement. The warm red tones of the maple branches frame the composition from above, while the softly rippling water and resting ducks create a sense of ease, intimacy, and seasonal stillness.

Painted in the traditional Chinese Gongbi style with rich color on silk, the work reflects the elegance of classical bird-and-flower painting. Every feather, leaf, and ripple is rendered with careful precision, yet the whole scene remains light, poetic, and serene.

This piece carries the quiet beauty of autumn: the hush of water, the grace of birds, and the warmth of red leaves lingering in the air.
